  1. Failed Rn boards 4 times

    tothepointeLVN replied to michelle.duncan's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    You want a cookie? Passing the boards only means you are "minimally" safe. Obviously she wasn't safe enough to be an RN and now she wants to degrade my license by sitting for that because she thinks...

  2. Community college has a 7% graduation rate...

    tothepointeLVN replied to Kadambari's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I know at my trade school LVN program they administered the exit HESI after paying for your NCLEX review course. You got three chances to pass. If you passed on the first time they paid for your IV...

  3. Community college has a 7% graduation rate...

    tothepointeLVN replied to Kadambari's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It depends. The community college I am attending has a student body of about 30,000 though I think its ALOT more. They have nursing programs on both campuses that take 40 students each per semester....

  4. Community college has a 7% graduation rate...

    tothepointeLVN replied to Kadambari's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This is about normal for a community college graduation rate especially now with the CC's being very overburdened. Do remember there are many people who just take one or two classes either for...

  5. Failed Rn boards 4 times

    tothepointeLVN replied to michelle.duncan's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  7. Misogyny in Nursing

    tothepointeLVN replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I loved that book. Though at the time reading about that CNL that was giving her such a hard time during report was that was behavior born of someone that had been burnt before. We all have little...

  10. Surveillance cameras in pedi patient's home?

    tothepointeLVN replied to lovelane78's topic in Private Duty

    I actually don't have a problem with being recorded. It's what is being done with the footage that bothers me. As I've mentioned before if you work in facility lets say a LTC and your recorded your...

  11. Misogyny in Nursing

    tothepointeLVN replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'm not implying that you did anything wrong or unprofessional but that despite stating otherwise you do have a good insight into why she was motivated to behave that way. Doesn't mean you actively...

  12. Is it easier to get in if you are already an LPN?

    tothepointeLVN replied to Limik's topic in LPN to RN

    Well in general your not competing against the generic applicants because your applying to enter at a different stage of the program fitting in where students have flunked out. You'll be competing...

  15. Misogyny in Nursing

    tothepointeLVN replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    This is an example of misogyny right there. You read into my statement whatever was going to support your viewpoint not what I actually said. Often when people are participating in relational...

  16. Misogyny in Nursing

    tothepointeLVN replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Part of the reason we do as women gang up on each other is women are collaborative and supportive. If one nurse gets a bee in her bonnet about another nurse there is a good chance there will be a...

  17. Just got in!

    tothepointeLVN replied to jglover4168's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have to admit you guys have stamina. You keep on chipping away at it building your applications up and making them better.

  18. Misogyny in Nursing

    tothepointeLVN replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I have a pretty good idea. No your fault but you probably indirectly made her feel like the older crappier model. A yugo to your lexus. So she reacted in a way protective to her ego. Fair? Oh heck no....

  19. Misogyny in Nursing

    tothepointeLVN replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I would recommend "When nurses hurt nurses" its similar to the about reference book but as the title suggest is nursing specific. Amazon.com: When Nurses Hurt Nurses (9781935476566): Cheryl Dellasega,...

    tothepointeLVN replied to droop's topic in LPN to RN

    alchemist, Just so your aware this is the sister college of Oikos University which had that shooting recently. They are not the most reputable of schools and I would research the bejesus out it before...

  21. Uncomfortable waistline

    tothepointeLVN replied to OKNurse2be's topic in General Students

    I've done the elastic drawstring extension thing before. If your sneaky you can do it in a way where you don't have to rethread it. Means there will be less elastic in there (about 1/3) but no...

  23. Nursing Program Rumors

    tothepointeLVN replied to buttons93's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Did you hear the rumor that they are going to change all the nursing school requirements without telling the students and it's going to be 10x as hard and there are 10,000 applicants for 1

  24. Nursing Program Rumors

    tothepointeLVN replied to buttons93's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Nursing school paranoia. There is always going to be an average nurse. The average will shift but there will always be an average. Honestly considering the standard you have to achieve to get that C...
